first embodiment

[0124]FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a clothing management method according to present disclosure.

[0125]Referring to FIG. 11, the processor 710 may provide at least one PWM value to the moving hanger 260 (S110).

[0126]Specifically, the processor 710 may provide the PWM value to the motor which controls the movement of the moving hanger 260. As described above, when the PWM value is provided to the motor, the motor may rotate at the RPM based on the PWM value. The moving hanger 260 may vibrate in at least one of the front-rear direction, the up-down direction, and the right-left direction based on a rotational movement of the motor.

[0127]In an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one PWM value provided to the moving hanger 260 may be provided to the moving hanger 260 for a preset time. As an example, at least one PWM value may be provided to the moving hanger 260 for 30 seconds.

[0128]The processor 710 may obtain a reliable learning sample or input data by applying the PWM value f...

second embodiment

[0147]FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a clothing management method according to present disclosure.

[0148]Referring to FIG. 13, the processor 710 monitors a change in the control operation of the clothing styler 10, and when the steam stroke which is one of the control operations ends (S310:YES), it is possible to predict the weight of the clothing using the cRPM and the pre-trained prediction model (S320).

[0149]As such, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processes for predicting the weight of the clothing described above may be initiated in response to the end of the steam stroke.

[0150]The processor 710 may control the motor to increase the vibration time of the moving hanger 260 or reduce the vibration speed in the drying stroke in proportion to the weight of the clothing(S330).

[0151]As an example, the processor 710 may control the vibration time of the moving hanger 260 so that the vibration time increases in the drying stroke in proportion to the weight of the clothing. As...

third embodiment

[0153]FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a clothing management method according to present disclosure.

[0154]The above-described FIGS. 11 to 13 describe the AI processing using the AI module provided in the clothing styler 10 and the control method using the AI processing result, and hereinafter, FIG. 14 describes an AI operation based on signal transmission and reception with a 5G network including a communication-connected server or at least one server. Contents overlapping with those described above in FIGS. 11 to 13 will be omitted.

[0155]Referring to FIG. 14, a user equipment (UE) and a server may be connected to each other through communication. In this case, the UE and the clothing styler 10 can be used interchangeably with each other. In addition, in FIG. 14, the processor refers to a processor of the clothing styler 10, and the AI processor refers to an AI processor included in the server or the 5G network.

[0156]The processor 710 may provide at least one PWM value to the moving hanger...

Abstract

A clothing management using a moving hanger is provided. A method of controlling a clothing styler according to an embodiment of the present disclosure determines a weight of clothing using a current RPM (cRPM) determined based on a PWM value provided to a motor and a prediction model based on the pre-trained artificial neural and may perform a suitable control operation according to the determined weight. The clothing styler of the present disclosure may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, and a device related to a 5G service.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREField of the Disclosure[0001]The present disclosure relates to a clothing management using a moving hanger.Related Art[0002]An Artificial Intelligence (AI) system is a computer system which realizes human-level intelligence, and unlike the existing a Rule-based smart system, is a system in which a machine trains and determines itself and becomes intelligent. As the AI system is used, a recognition rate is improved and a user preference can be understood more accurately, and thus, the existing Rule-based smart system is gradually being replaced by a deep learning-based AI system.[0003]An artificial intelligence technology includes machine learning (deep learning) and element technologies using the machine learning.[0004]The machine learning is an algorithm technology which classifies / trains characteristics of input data by itself, and the element technology is a technology which simulates a function such as cognition and determination of the human brain us...
